I want a digital 5-pin bowling game.
Anyone know of ANY? I'd really appreciate any leads.
Might make one at this rate.

December 19 1997, 64 de Hakken! Tamagotchi Minna de Tamagotchi World debuted on the N64 in Japan!
This board game features Mariotchi and Waruotokotchi, likely one of the first Nintendo/Tamagotchi crossovers and was developed by Hudson Soft who would eventually make Mario Party!

So DoorDash using AI descriptions can't possibly be legal ... right? It just makes shit up about the product, it's just random chance if it's correct.

I love KDE but it really boggles my mind how I've never had a simple experience editing the menu. I can edit it in the editor, save it, reload it in the editor even, but never once has it actually changed my application menu.
I always end up manually editing files.

I ordered a Commodore64 Ultimate (Beige). Pretty hyped, never owned a C64 before.

Thinking about it, it was a surprising amount of work to have the ability to toggle between the HDR and non-HDR versions of films. I had to:
1. Buy a NAS
2. Put Emby on it + my TV
3. Mod a Bluray drive
4. Rip the 4K HDR and 1080p versions of the media
5. Watch them
I can't think of an easier way.

Me: Are there any games like this movie?
ChatGPT 5: There are no games that were perfect 1:1 recreations of that movie.
It's every single convo lol.

Talking to ChatGPT 5 is exhausting. I feel like every convo is like:
Me: I like bunnies because they're fluffy.
GPT5: The reason people latch onto the fluffyness of bunnies is...
Me: I think snakes are like silly noodles.

I don't understand why I can't unmount devices sometimes, or force it. This might be my biggest gripe with Linux:
1. Konsole had directory open on external device. (Past-tense, no longer does)
2. Device cannot be unmounted until Konsole is closed.
3. No files are open, no data is moving.

Been using VSCode's remote feature for 1 week. My remote terminal lost its state recently. It'd allow me to copy/edit files, and let me think I'm operating directly on the system through SSH, but it wasn't actually doing anything.

AFI's sound progression over the band's lifetime is just wild. Went from super fun punk rock band, into a very different emo/gothic vibe.
Answer That and Stay Fashionable is absolutely worth the listen if you want to hear some wild contrast to something like Decemberunderground.

2025 is coming to end and some people who claim not to be fascists are still associating themselves with fascist outlets like X.
I claim, perhaps charitably, that it's because they don't understand how the internet works. Either way, this needs to change.

We are facing a coordinated international fascist movement that works with explicit backing from Moscow, Washington, and tech monopolies, and is propagating itself through its own media apparatus. Yet...

Holy shit I was complaining about this the last couple times I visited Toronto!
It's one of those effects that makes you feel like you're losing your mind. You KNOW more exists, you KNOW you've seen some things before, but the algorithm decides what you see, and takes a piece of your mind away.

I wanted dinner recommendations so I scraped 13,000+ London restaurants and accidentally discovered Google Maps is running a shadow economy. Anyway here's a dashboard and a political economy thesis: open.substack.com/pub/laurenle...
How Google Maps quietly allocates survival across London’s restaurants - and how I built a dashboard to see through it
I wanted a dinner recommendation and got a research agenda instead. Using 13000+ restaurants, I rebuild its ratings with machine learning and map how algorithmic visibility actually distributes power.

Maybe I'm old but when videos auto-play on here I click them to make them stop, which makes them incredibly loud. It's really the exact opposite of what I want to happen.

I wonder why it's taking brave so long to implement HEVC/x265 support. People seem to have been asking for it for 7 years now...
I was testing content and got frustrated that I have to use my TV to test some of it. Found out Firefox, and most others, support it out of the box.
